Da li kiborzi sanjaju biomehaničke ovce? Telo i hiperrealnost

Abstract

U radu će biti reči o promenljivoj ulozi koju su ljudska tela imala kroz istoriju masovne upotrebe interneta. Posmatrajući savremena ljudska tela kao, zapravo, umnogome kiborška, postaviću tezu da su ova i ovakva tehnotela uticala na stvaranje, ali i bila direktna posledica promene u percepciji realnosti kod korisnika interneta generalno, i posebno korisnika socijalnih mreža. Dalje, pokušaću da pokažem kako je narušavanje i preispitivanje granica između stvarnog i virtuenlog, koje je nastalo kao posledica masovnog upliva tehnologije u sve društvene sfere, dovelo do stvaranja hiperrealnosti – realnosti koja simultano inkorporira i nadilazi i fizičku i virtuelnu stvarnost, i stvara nove okvire postojanja, prisustva i društvenosti.

The paper will focus on the ever-changing role which human bodies have played through the history of widespread Internet use. Viewing contemporary human bodies as, in fact, cyborg bodies, I will argue that it was these techno-bodies that influenced the creation, but were also the direct consequence of a significant shift in the perception of reality experienced by Internet users in general, and users of social networking websites in particular. Furthermore, I will try to demonstrate how the corrosion and questioning of the borders between the real and the virtual, which emerged as a consequence of the mass influx of technology into all levels of society, brought about the creation of hyperreality – a reality which simultaneously incorporates and moves beyond physical as well as virtual reality, and creates new frameworks of existence, presence and sociability.
